How was our recent livestream concert?
-
Eh, you mean the one in August?
-
Well...
-
That was basically the first time in my life I had felt so nervous.
-
It was being recorded too.
-
So...
-
Doing something we've done before
-
while being amidst scenery we had never seen before
-
-felt really weird.
-Yeah, it did.
-
When there's an audience and we're communicating with them,
-
it's like the tension is relieved.
-
Not once was it relieved [during the livestream].
-
That's true.
-
It surprised me that I could feel that nervous for two hours.
-
My heart was beating so fast by playing "Ceramic Blue" as our first song.
-
It was like, "Isn't that a tense song?" but in a good way.
-
I felt numb.
-
I mean, even though we've played several concerts and have done this for several years,
-
the tension of that moment where I started off a song with me singing and playing guitar...
-
Probably nothing else can take the place of that.
-
I mean, if I had messed up there, the entire show would be over.
-
That's what you were thinking about when you started to sing?
-
I didn't think that much about it right before.
-
-But a pressure like that definitely exists.
-It does.
-
Also, you need to feel that pressure when you perform.
-
But looking at the footage, we all look so calm!
-
-That's crazy~
-It is.
-
I think that people who don't feel nervous are amazing.
-
They're calm in any situation.
-
Of course we feel like that for concerts,
-
but also for stuff like interviews and recording comments for TV shows.
-
I think that it makes things a little easier by saying you're not good at something, or if you're nervous.
-
You go, "I'm totally fine" and then try to do it,
-
so that can make things tough at times.
-
In particular, HARU plays a central role since she speaks during our concerts.
-
In contrast, I act as support during MCs.
-
-There's such a thing as overthinking things.
-Yeah.
-
Doing MCs during concerts...
-
When I think about how what I say could potentially change someone's life,
-
that has its own feeling of tension.
-
-It's something important, after all.
-Yeah.
-
Someone else's words can help you out.
-
It's a good feeling of tension, though.
-
If you don't have that feeling of tension,
-
You shouldn't be speaking in front of others.
-
When you live with those feelings,
-
-Your heart takes quite the blow.
-That's true.
-
The MCs we do for solo concerts and the MCs we do for festivals,
-
they completely differ.
-
Like...how can I put it?
-
Solo concerts...since the attendees are people who have come to see us specifically,
-
we can imagine what we could say.
-
However, with festivals,
-
they put you more on edge.
-
Like, "We're going to get you to like us!"
-
During those times,
-
we wonder what we should say to get people to understand us in a short amount of time.
-
Like...
-
Hm...
-
I think we're a difficult type of band to understand when it comes to festivals.
-
Like...how should I put it...
-
-The kind of...
-We're not the typical kind of band you see at festivals?
-
We don't know what people are thinking of us,
-
but...
-
-I feel that we don't belong anywhere.
-I get that.
-
I think there are many people in the audience who think that,
-
especially those seeing us for the first time.
-
For those who don't really know who we are
-
and happen to learn about us while they're there and decide to watch us,
-
we wonder how we should appear to them.
-
Also, for those who don't know about us,
-
we've always been searching for the right way
-
-to structure an MC for those people.
-Yeah.
-
Like...
-
We've been thinking recently that it'd be great if we could let people know exactly who we are via the exact words we say.
-
Occasionally, when we play year-end festivals,
-
you're battling a full-blown cold.
-
-That was only last year!
-Didn't that happen two years ago too?
-
-It did.
-Yeah, it did!
-
It was like she could barely get her singing across,
-
and when we thought that if she spoke during the MCs then her voice might give out before the end of our set,
-
For some reason it was decided that I'd do the MC!
-
I have no idea why.
-
But wasn't it like, "We're going to have someone stand in front"?
-
We didn't really decide that.
-
We didn't have a large dressing room but a tiny front room next to the stage,
-
and when we got there,
-
I was suddenly told, "You'll be doing the MC today..."
-
I didn't want to make HARU feel anxious,
-
so I was like, "Okay! I'll speak."
-
I was like, I've done this plenty; I'll be fine.
-
-It's because MCs are so important that they're difficult to do.
-They are.
-
Even if you decide to be nuanced about it,
-
-there are times when it turns out completely different.
-I totally get that.
-
When you're speaking on stage,
-
aren't there times when you're like, "Wait, why am I taking up this persona?"
-
-What's with that?
-I have no idea.
-
-You're probably being possessed by someone.
-Probably so.
-
But days when you're like, "Today was great" do occasionally happen.
-
That's true.
-
Because you experience it point by point,
-
you're like, "That's exactly it!"
-
You do it for those moments.
-
I wonder how it'll be like in the future.
-
We've always talked about that.
-
It's like, "How many times have we talked about that today?"
-
-I'm looking forward to it.
-Yeah.
-
During the time we would have had our world tour,
-
wasn't there a period where we didn't see each other?
-
We were at our homes the entire time we didn't see each other!
-
What did you do at home?
-
At home,
-
I did stuff like watching Korean dramas.
-
What about recently? What have you been doing at home recently?
-
-I've been watching those kinds of dramas.
-What are you watching?
-
For Korean dramas,
-
I'm watching "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth."
-
Park Seo-joon, who is the lead in "Itaewon Class," is also the lead in that series.
-
It's a Korean historical drama about a princess that lived 1500 years ago.
-
She doesn't surround herself with handsome servants,
-
but she gets toughened up by them.
-
-It's basically eye candy.
-Is that so?
-
-That's how you have fun?
-Yeah.
-
-I see.
-This drama seriously is a feast for the eyes.
-
-Hmm.
-I totally recommend it.
-
-You don't like series like that at all, do you?
-I wouldn't say I don't them,
-
but I've never gotten hooked on those.
-
-It'll make you feel relaxed just by watching it, seriously.
-Is that so?
-
-I think it's very rare for me to feel that way.
-I think so too.
-
The feeling of getting charged up by seeing someone cool...
-
-But that's good for you, and it must be fun.
-It is fun.
-
-It completely charges me up.
-Oh yeah? That's good.
-
It doesn't matter if the [actors] are handsome or not;
-
I get charged up by what's said.
-
-Do you get it?
-I do. You are that type of person.
-
I've been watching "Chibi Maruko-chan" all the time lately.
-
Have you ever seriously sat down to watch it?
-
Well...I've never properly watched an episode of it.
-
Right?
-
It'll really make you cry!
-
I get that there are stories that can make you cry,
-
but I don't think I've been watching anything like that.
-
-It's all on Netflix.
-Oh yeah?
-
I've always watched things like "Atashin'chi,"
-
and I really do recommend watching those two series.
-
Watching "Maru-chan"...
-
The commonpoint is that they're all about family.
-
Right now I'm kind of hooked on rewatching anime series I've been a fan of for a long time.
-
But I've already watched all episodes of "Maru-chan."
-
-Eh!?
-They were all on Netflix.
-
-Eh!?
-Also, I used to a projector to watch "Maru-chan."
-
That was...
-
-That's way too posh!
-It's like I was watching it on a large screen.
-
This was such a great time.
-
Yeah, it was.
-
Ah~
-
-We've been talking for 52 minutes already.
-We talked a lot!
-
-You're going to trim it down, right?
-Yeah, I am.
-
No matter how much is filmed, I compact it all.
-
This was fun~
-
It really had been a long time since we last went out to eat.
-
Yeah, for sure.
-
The two of us didn't talk that much.
-
Ah, that's true.
-
-This was a great time.
-Yeah.
-
I'm glad I asked you out.
-
It's a little different from when the four of us talk together.
-
That's true.
-
-Good work.
-Thank you so much!
-
That's all for now. Bye bye!
-
Thank you, HARU!
-
-Until the next time we meet.
-Wait, is it okay to invite you out again?
-
-It is.
-I'm really nervous on days I invite her out.
-
-If I ask you, "Are you free tomorrow?", you're going to think, "Is this for YouTube?"
-Got it.
-
Well, if you have plans then turn me down.
-
That's all for today.
-
Thank you so much! Bye bye!
